U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday arrived in Israel where he plans to show “solidarity” with the country after its Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
His scheduled trip afterward to visit Jordan, where he planned to meet with Arab leaders to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, was canceled after protests swelled across the region in response to a deadly blast at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds sheltering inside.
Palestinian militant group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, as well as Arab leaders blame the attack on Israel’s Defense Forces which have been relentlessly bombing Gaza daily since the Hamas terror attack on Israel that killed some 1,300 people. Israel blames Hamas and its affiliate group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, saying the hospital blast was caused by a failed rocket launch.
Israel’s bombings of Gaza and total siege over the small enclave have killed more than 3,000 Palestinians so far, the territory’s health ministry says. Horrific scenes of the wounded ignited street protests in capitals across the region.
